Fun and Games

I love competition. Most sports fans do and so when fantasy was conceived most sports fans saw their wildest dreams answered. I have never played fantasy before (although next year I’m definitely getting in a football league), but last baseball season I used to play Beat the Streak on MLB.com.
The premise is simple. Each day you pick [...]

I Was Afraid of This

I wrote this earlier this week and planned on posting it this afternoon. Looks like me and the Sox are too late. Is Manny next? What are the Sox planning on doing now? There are too many questions at this point and all we can do is watch it play out…
When I’m not thinking about [...]

The Yankees Buy Another One

Teixeira has gone to the Yankees for 8 years and 180 million dollars, according to baseball sources within ESPN.
Red Sox fans weep.

Things are getting wild

The future is in our hands, but also in the hands of the Jets, Seahawks, Dolphins, Chiefs, Ravens, Cowboys and the Jags. It’s not the best feeling to think that it is possible for us to go 11-5 and still not make the playoffs, but it’s the truth.
At this point, the wild card is our [...]

Pats playoff bound?

You know the saying, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”? Well you might as well write that on the Pats locker room message board, stitch it on the back of their jerseys and have a blimp carry the message over Gillette. That is now the official slogan of the Pats. The going [...]

So I’m going to try this again…

So last time I came out about even. This could be the wildest NFL season that I have ever seen and I wouldn’t have it any other way. That said it doesn’t bode well for any kind of picks. Let’s see if I can better my score.
Titans v. Detroit: Titans Happy Thanksgiving! You once again [...]

Week 10 Pick’em

I never make picks. I am so superstitious that I always feel like I’m jinxing whichever team I pick to win. But what can you do? I thought I would step up and see how I fare. Here they are: some have commentary, some don’t. I’m shooting for a winning record- that is my only [...]

The jersey scene

In a mere couple of hours, I will be heading out of town for the weekend. In my bag are the usuals for any weekend getaway with one additional item: my Patriots jersey. A Vrabel home jersey. It’s two sizes too big and fits perfectly over a huge Pats sweatshirt which will keep me warm this weekend during the [...]

Done.

*Disclaimer: I am watching Monday night football. I started this post at 8:29. I will probably be done at the end of the forth. If my writing becomes sloppy or my tone becomes frustrated, I apologize in advance.
The Sox are done. The 2008 campaign has ended. It was hard to watch in more ways than [...]

Where are you New England Patriots?

The Pats are not a topic that I like to speak about as of late. My diehard passionate rants have been muted. I love Sundays, but now I wish they had more Monday night games (only one this year) so that I can have stress free weekends.
Now that is a hard statement to write out. [...]

In need of some zzz’s

Why do I hate playing the Angels? Could it be because they have been proclaimed the best team in baseball? Nah. It’s because this girl has a full time job and staying up until 1:30a.m. hurts when it comes time to roll out of bed.
But there is no crying in baseball. So I happily joined [...]
